Beatrice Riva - Ascolto

Title: Listening
Subtitle: Some emotions can't be resolved with force, but with care

The work engages in a figurative and expressionist inquiry centered on the male body as an emotional space, traversed by silences, collapses, and possibilities for repair.
Listening is a portrait not of an individual, but of a state: the moment when one stops fighting and begins to feel.

The painting bears scratches, abrasions, and material that cross the surface like emotional traces. The cool, muted tones converse with lighter areas, almost vulnerable, creating an unstable balance between strength and fragility.
An invitation to recognize that some parts of us do not seek control, but presence; not a response, but listening.

The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity.
